FAQs
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and follow with a leather conditioner suitable for your footwear's finish.
Is this footwear suitable for wide feet?
The Boston Pro features a 'Regular Fit'. While the adjustable strap offers some customization, it may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet. Consider trying them on or looking for models specifically designed for wider fits if available.
How long does the cork footbed typically last?
The cork-latex footbed is durable and designed to last for a significant period with proper care. Over time, it will mold to your foot for personalized comfort. Replacement footbeds are often available from Birkenstock.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The upper is fluid-resistant, making it suitable for minor spills. However, the footwear is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion should be avoided.
What is the main difference between 'Regular Fit' and other Birkenstock fits?
The 'Regular Fit' is designed for average foot widths. Birkenstock also offers 'Narrow Fit' and, in some models, 'ExNarrow Fit' and 'ExWide Fit' to accommodate a broader range of foot shapes.
Are these suitable for standing all day?
Yes, the contoured cork-latex footbed and cushioned midsole are specifically designed to provide support and comfort for extended periods of standing and walking.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time as they break in.
Leather upper shows water spots.
Wipe immediately with a slightly damp cloth. Once dry, use a leather conditioner designed for nubuck or oiled leather, depending on the specific finish.
Strap does not feel secure.
Ensure the pin buckle is correctly fastened through one of the holes in the strap. Adjust to the tightest comfortable setting if needed.
Slipping occurs despite the sole.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For extremely slick surfaces, proceed with caution as no sole is completely slip-proof.
